Today's topic is on the use of standard English in our blogs and phone text messages.
Well to be truthful, i don't really use standard English in my text messages and in this blog here.
In text messages, however, i feel that lingo is neccesary as this way there's:
1) Convinience
2) Extra Space
3) Money $$$
In every text message you send there's a limit of 160 words before you exceed into the second
text message. Also, by using lingo you can shorten the time spent on typing. Besides, you save money too.
When i got my first phone ( I'm still using it now), somewhere back in Sec 2, I had promised myself that i would always try my best to use standard English in my messages. For the first few weeks i did. Then i fell into the bottomless spiralling pit of "LOL SRY IM L8" and " He CMI lah, i cr8 better" and other phrases. Out of neccessity, purely.
(laughs) well, i just have to try my best in posting here in standard English then.
